Killing time

-
I've been working on a new burning over the past few days. It's one of my more difficult ones. I thought it would be a cool idea. It's a lion head, lying on its side. The surround is black and part of the head vanishes into the blackness. It's turning out to be harder than I thought. But I'll keep on working at it and see what happens.
Not much else has been going on. I went to work today and was bored out of my gored. Now I'm just killing time until my dinner is done. Steve's working tonight. He's usually off on Wednesday but he picked up.
Even though it was a couple of days ago, I didn't get a chance to post about it (I know everyone was just broken over it), but it was cool that Ricky Martin came out of the closet. It took him a while, but it's understandable. Now, he's rich enough to where it doesn't matter if people turn on him (and there are enough assholes in the world, that they will). But if he had done it too soon, it might have effected his career too much. So, congrats, Ricky! (I don't think he reads my blog. I don't think anyone reads my blog).
Anyway, this weekend we're going to see Clash of the Titans. It should be good.
Well, that's about all the excitement I have for you, whoever you may or may not be. Until next time.
Be nice to each other.
Later-

Just a quick hello-

-
As I sit here waiting to begin my work day, I wanted to just say a quick hello. As you can tell by the lack of a picture, I'm on my iPad, my new best friend. I never thought I would love the iPad as much as I do, but I do. I'm sill learning all the ins and outs, but I'm getting there. Things have been pretty much going in a steady forward motion for me. Steve is finally felling better, which always eases my mind tremendously. Book sales have been great. Work has been not as horrible as it usually is, so that's a nice change. And Buster, well, he's still his cute adorable self. The weather here in Austin has begun to slowly feel more like Texas weather; that is to say, it's getting hot as shit. I told myself, this year I would try and not get as stressed about the weather as I did last summer. I just have to keep it in my head that there is nothing I can do about it, and my time here gets shorter and shorter with each day that passes. Oh how I can't w...

Just full of giddiness!

Not sure if it's really all that manly to be full of giddiness, but I don't know of any other way to describe it.  One of the rules of blogging, especially for a writer, is not to bore your readers with the same old subject over and over.  But Luthor is a major part of my life right now, and things are beginning to change because of it. And the title of this blog is the daily ups and downs of  an up and coming writer, and over the past few years there have too many downs.  I am on the way up, and I'm gonna shout it from the top of a mountain (from the top of Pike's Peak, eventually). I just got done preparing a couple of packages for some people who have purchased signed copies of Luthor .  And as I was doing it, I was so happy. Actually over the past few weeks I have been so happy.  Sales have been great.  People have been talking to me about the book and telling me about the emotions it took them through and how if effected them.  Ea...

The light at the end of the tunnel-

(I'm doing this entry on my iPad, so I'm not able to add a picture.  Just imagine a cool shot of Colorado, please. ) As most of you know, our big goal is to get the hell out of Austin and up to the mountains of Colorado. Obviously we have to wait a couple of years until I retire with the City of Austin, The other day I got some good news: That goal got 6/7 months closer. I will be able to buy my sick time and move my date up! Nice! So by roughly September of 2014 I will be retiring! It seems weird to say those words. People tell me, "You can't retire, you're too young." The hell, I can't! You're never too young to retire, if you're able.  It's my reward for sticking with a job I didn't like most of the time for 23 years! Some also ask, "What are you going to do? You'll get bored." The hell I will! They forget: I'm a writer. I actually never thought I would retire with the City, because I always thought my caree...
